<p align="justify" class="title">Actor Krishi Thapanda is geared up for the release of upcoming movie 'Kannadakkagi Ondannu Otti'. She believes that it will be a turning point in her career as this movie will make filmmakers realise that she is capable of a lot more than just being a glamorous face. In a chat with <span class="bold">Tini Sara Anien</span>, she talks about her role and her recent stint in 'Big Boss'.</p>.<p align="justify" class="Question">Tell us about your role in 'Kannadakkagi...'. </p>.<p align="justify" class="bodytext">I play a character with two shades in the movie. I am a bubbly, happy-go-lucky, engineering student in the first half. I fall in love and my life changes after the interval. I am seen in a much more serious avatar as a Malanad girl, in a sari and nosering. I've never been seen in such an avatar ever. People always associate me with glamorous roles. </p>.<p align="justify" class="Question">What kind of roles do you want to be seen in?</p>.<p align="justify" class="bodytext">I don't restrict myself from any roles. I don't want to be just an eye-candy in a film. People have often told me that I am an underrated actor and I want to prove all of them wrong with my performance in 'Kannadakkagi...' and upcoming projects.</p>.<p align="justify" class="Question">Some of your favourite things about 'Kannadakkagi...'.</p>.<p align="justify" class="bodytext">Playing two varied roles in the same project was very exciting. Though I relate closely to the bubbly college avatar, it was a blessing to play a serious woman. The movie was shot at beautiful locations in Chikkamagaluru which was very thrilling. The songs in the movie are also really exciting.</p>.<p align="justify" class="Question">Other projects in the pipeline...</p>.<p align="justify" class="bodytext">I am awaiting the release of 'Ira' too. I have not signed any new projects but I <br />have heard many scripts. Work on some confirmed scripts will start slowly. The team of 'Kannadakkagi...' stalled the release of the movie for me, as I was in 'Bigg Boss'. I owe the team my time and effort to popularise and make the film a hit.</p>.<p align="justify" class="Question">How was the experience of being in 'Bigg Boss'?</p>.<p align="justify" class="bodytext">I never aimed to be a part of a reality show but I always look forward to new and different experiences. Most of the times I am on a set shooting for a movie or travelling. This was something out of my comfort zone. I am not used to living with a lot of people, especially not when negative vibes are in the air. I realised my own capacities and discovered a lot of things about myself through the show. </p>.<p align="justify" class="Question">How was it to be around actor Sudeep?</p>.<p align="justify" class="bodytext">Even after I am out of the show, whenever we meet, I start laughing. When Sudeep meets me, he says 'Krishi, your time starts now'. And I start laughing. I had a wonderful time just being around him.</p>
